1) Woo! Now, when you cite an LJ Community, using DW's tags, you get the community icon, instead of the "single user" icon. I was wondering when that code would catch up.

2) OK-Go: I like their YouTube videos, but a couple of weeks ago, I guess it was, I caught them as the "musical guest" at the end of "The Late Show with David Letterman." And from seeing them just standing on the stage, I realized I don't like their music very much. It might be good, but I can't tell, because the sound balance is off between voice and instruments, and it just strikes my ear as a loud, jaunty, muddle. Also, I suspect they are covering their vocal weaknesses with AutoTune.

3) Speaking of "striking the ear," Vihart (of "doodling in math class" videos) has recently put up a longer work, that's a mix of live action, stop action animation, and montage, that wonderfully explains the biology, physics, and mathematics of sound, here: What's up with Noises? (The Science and Mathematics of Sound, Frequency, and Pitch). On the one hand, it's a wonderfully poetic explanation that validates all my love for music. On the other, it also validates the feeling I often have of being overwhelmed by hearing All The Sounds, All The Time.

4) I'm trying to figure out how to write about the Grimms' tale Hans-my-Hedgehog; usual (i.e. Jungian) interpretation generally frames his half a life as Hedgehog-boy as being metaphorical, and his shedding of the hedgehog skin (and emerging with milk-white complexion and blue eyes) as being the "reality." And I want to turn that on it's head. But I'm not sure how to frame that.

5) Still thinking of writing up a Similes Meme. But 30 is a lot. So it will probably end up being Seven Days of Similes, instead.
